Corporations, the UN and Neo-liberal Bio-politics

Ewa Charkiewicz

Development, 2005, vol. 48, issue 1, 75-83

Abstract: Ewa Charkiewicz shares with readers a think piece that puzzles out the ever increasing popularity of corporate social responsibility (CSR). She is interested in why it appealed so strongly to the UN and civil society and asks what problems did it help to solve, on what terms does it operate and in particular, how has the consent and engagement with the discourse on CSR been generated? She warns that there is a double game being played, and that behind the caring face of CSR a war is being played out against ‘bare life’ and peoples' livelihoods.
